JAAG: a JSON input file Assembler for AlphaFold 3 (with Glycan Integration)
JAAG is a lightweight, web-based GUI tool that helps generate AlphaFold 3 input
JSON files with integrated glycan support. It automates the creation of correct
glycan syntax (including bondedAtomPairs + CCD), reducing manual errors when
preparing glycoprotein or glycan–protein complexes.

- Source code: https://github.com/chinchc/JAAG
- Paper: https://doi.org/10.1093/glycob/cwaf083
Note: JAAG is compatible with standalone AlphaFold 3, but not with the AlphaFold 3 server.
Modeling glycans with AlphaFold 3: capabilities, caveats, and limitations
Paper on modeling glycans (and other ligands) with AF3 that modeled and assessed major glycan classes and provides:
- Step-by-step tutorial for building ligand inputs (applicable beyond glycans)
- Ready-to-run scripts for each glycan class
- Comprehensive CCD table for all SNFG monosaccharides
- Discussion of caveats and limitations of AF3
- Full AF3 inputs/outputs archived on ModelArchive for reproducibility
Useful resource if your AF3 ligand models appear stereochemically off.
